1/4 cup teriyaki sauce

1 Tbs ginger root, peeled and grated fresh

1 Tbs sesame oil

1 10 oz bag hearts of romaine lettuce

1 15 oz can mandarin oranges

Place pork in a resealable plastic bag; set aside. In small bowl, stir together marinade ingredients; pour over pork. Seal bag; refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.

When ready to cook; place pork cutlets on preheated medium-hot grill. Cook on grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, until internal temperature on a thermometer reads 160° F. Place grilled pork on cutting board; cut into strips and set aside.

Meanwhile, place iceberg and romaine lettuce, oranges, cherries, almonds and cilantro in large bowl; toss to combine and set aside. Stir together dressing ingredients; when ready to serve, pour over lettuce mixture. Toss to coat.
